Components and Architectural

I am wondering if I can purchase an Arc and then an Amp for my existing non-Sonos rear ceiling speakers and Sub. Would I still be able to get Dolby Atmos or what would be possible. Given I am also looking for a new 65” tv that is eARC compatible. So confusing. I wish Sonos would have a simple chart that maps possibilities.

Hi, i need advice for 3 sonos amp installation. They located one near the other but 1 ethernet socket is available on the wall. For now i added a switch there to connect each one but i prefer a “cleaner” solution.I was reading about the availability of a “daisy chain” solution (7 devices limited) to connect all of them using the secondary ethernet port available. I resume the connection scheme with S(ethernet socket on the wall) where the 3 amps are called A B C, E1 E2 are ethernet ports on the Sonos Amp, and the “----” is an ethernet cable.S ---- A.E1/AE2----B.E1/E2----C.E1In case it’s strongly advocated, we are currently renovating that area, it’s a possible for us to provide 3 ethernet sockets there, so connection scheme will be.S1----AS2----BS3----CApart from the 7 devices limit (we have just 3) are there any other cons about this ? bandwidth ? i know/guess that streaming music does not require gigabit connections...You have any suggestion or comment ?Thank you for your time.  

Hey guys am hoping to buy a turn table shortly and play music off a 5 second gen. Would the WiFi allow the rest of my speakers to pick this up?

I just upgraded to a sonos port and currently have it connected to my Onyko via rca to the CD input. I’m able to play sonos over my main ceiling speakers that are wired to the receiver.  However, i cant get my outdoor wired speakers which are connected to Zone 2 (Note i’m using the wired connetion, not the zone 2 rca outputs).In setup, i set CD to the sonos port and choose analog.  I set CD as the source for Zone 2 and i made sure main and zone 2 are both selected, but no music on zone 2.  Any suggestions?  I’m ordering a digital coax cable to see if that helps.  Any suggestions?

What do the 3 icons on the front of the amp do?

I believe SONOS could have a very popular item by making a SONOS transmitter for TVs.In simple terms take the soundbar electronics and toslink interface and package this as a SONOS tv transmitter.  Use a USB interconnect for the power supply and have a nice small package that could fit behind wall mounted TVs. I would like to use the SONOS speakers for my TV but do not wish to have a SONOS soundbar in the mix.This would seem to offer another way for SONOS to bring users to the family of products.If there is something that already does this please let me know.  

Tot vorige week heb ik 7 jaar lang mijn Beolab 8000 actieve speakers rechtstreeks aangesloten op SONOS CONNECT. Heeft altijd prima gewerkt. Sinds deze week de opvolger PORT in huis en problemen; een van de speakers gaat constant aan en uit als er geen muziek aan staat; de speaker gaat aan en uit getriggered door de ruis vanuit SONOS PORT. Als de speaker niet is aangesloten gaat hij vanzelfsprekend niet aan en uit; als de speaker niet is aangesloten op de SONOS PORT is er geen ruis. De andere speaker werkt correct. Wat kan ik doen? Ik heb al een groundloop isolator geprobeerd; geen enkel effect (zelfs meer ruis). De kabels zijn van prima kwaliteit (afgeschermd en RCA stekkers aan beide zijden).

Hi,I am currently using an Amp (the ‘new’ one) with a pair of B&W 706s2 at the front and Sonos One as rear speakers.I am looking to upgrade my amplification as the Amp isn't able to get the most out of my turntable and speakers potential for music playback.However, I wish to keep the Amp as I truly enjoy the HT convenience.Is there any possibility for me to add an extra 3rd party stereo amplifier into my system, through which I would be playing my music, while still using the Amp for TV? Of course without having to plug/unplug anything when swithing from music to TV.. Thank you for your ideas and suggestions,Cyril

I have 2 play 5s out on my patio by the pool.   I want to connect a third party sub to those for more base outside.  Can I use a connect amp S2 to connect the sub through the sub port only and not use the speaker connections as the play 5 will be in use instead?

Hi All,in my living room I currently have a Samsung TV and a turntable connected to an old Sony HIFI, both on the same living room furniture. I would like to boost the audio of the Samsung (that’s definitely bad) and at the same time change the old Sony HIFI to have something with Airplay 2, to which I can also connect my turntable. I would like to keep my Sony passive speakers, 50W each, that I like how they sound. What would be the best solution? I am thinking of BEAM (as I cannot afford a bigger one due to size) and AMP, but in the case what would be the best configuration? Would BEAM work by itself when watching TV and the passive speakers be used for audio only, or should it work in any different way? How about when playing music via spotify? Would the amp stream only on the passive speakers, or would beam be involved? I am getting lost :) I cannot move the speakers somewhere else.

My Move cuts out with TV Audio  only.  This started after the last update.  I have reset everything several times.  No luck. I have not changed any devices on the network.  I submitted a diagnostic.  But I don’t see email support anymore.

Im trying to find out if a certain record player (Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB) would be able to connect to a sonos play:5. I know that the turntable a preamp has two different output, including USB and RCA’s, but the play:5, which is what I plan on connecting it to, does not have an RCA input, only an AUX. Is there a way to connect RCA to AUX? Will the sound be right? Would something else be better to connect through (Sonos Port or Amp)?

Is the Sonos Amp weatherproof and can be installed outdoors? I mean the amp  that supports the Sonos Outdoor speakers.

Hi everyone,I own a Sonos ZP100 and from what I’ve read it seems that I could use both the speakers ouputs AND the analog line-out (plugged to another amplifier) simultaneously in order to play the same music on both my loudspeakers + my old amplifier. I think I’ve read that it is also possible to create two different zones (though it isn’t necessary for my current installation):Zone 1: loudspeakers outputs Zone 2: analog line-outHere is what I have done so far: Line-in is working perfectly fine.BUT, my problem is: When I play music with ‘normal’ settings (meaning Line-out level is set to Variable), I only have the sound coming out on my L 500/1 Loudspeakers and nothing coming out on the amplifier/L710 (analog line-out).When I play music with Line-out level set to Fixed or Pass-through (even if I know that obviously this amplifier isn’t compatible with pass-through) the music only comes out on the Amplifier/L710 and there’s nothing coming out on the L 500/1 / Loudspeakers output. Is th

Hi, I’m trying to connect my built in (non-sonos) ceiling and wall speakers to my existing Sonos Playbar and Sub in my living room.I’ve purchased a Denon AVR-X6500H AV Receiver that supports multiple zones (I need multiple zones).I’ve purchased a Sonos Port.I’ve setup Port on my iOS app and it asked me which room, I selected the main room that was already setup, it created a duplicate of the room and numbered it #2. In the app under the device in Family Room #2, it shows the Line-In as “Disconnected” even though I have the RCA cables setup per below diagram. I have not connected the wires for the prewired built in house speakers to the AV receiver yet. Waiting on the wires to arrive in the mail. However, I should be able to use the Sonos speakers for now, no?I’m not receiving any audio at all but I see video. What am I missing that needs to be corrected?Here’s my wiring diagram as of this moment: 

Will a connect stream music to sonos speakers (line in source), I thought it was the point of the connect? Thanks in advance  

Hi — I have happily had a Playbar hardwired to a Connect AMP in my lounge for a few years now. I flip between having the Connect AMP on its own to use with my vinyl, and then connecting it for surround sound for my TV. It’s become progressively easier with each upgrade, and the last iteration was pretty simple and convenient. My Connect AMP even turned out to be S2 compatible.  But now it seems there’s been a new update to S2 and the surround-adding process is different. It seems you can’t add surround unless they’re on WiFi. Is this true? Is my setup dead now? Did Sonos just break the “you’ll always be able to use your system as you have done before” pledge? I’m quite peeved. Thoughts welcome, thanks!

Hi all, Today I purchased a pair of QED Reference XT40i cables which are terminated with Airloc Banana Plugs. They go all the way into the terminals on my speakers (KEF LS50). I wanted to ask anyone who is using Banana plugs with their CONNECT:AMP if the banana plugs go all the way in, flush with the speaker terminals - or if they slightly protude? Have pushed as hard as possible, but thought it best to check before risking damage to the plugs … Thanks.

Hi––I’ve had my Port for a few weeks now and am experiencing the kind of drop out that is described in many other discussions. I’ve tried many of the suggested solutions with no improvement. Would love some help. This is pretty frustrating. Many thanks!Diagnostic = 1460156327 Best,David

The ring will not charge my move any more (I’ve had it for 3-4 months, and this started happening a week ago).   the Ubsc charger will charge the device. But not the ring.  No charging light comes on while it’s on the ring.  Help!

Hi to all.  I had a question regarding Sonos Amp and TV connection for use of in ceiling speakers.  Presently, i have full use of the in ceiling speakers for music but wanted to see if there is any way possible to connect the Sonos AMP to the TV via Cat 6 Ethernet line?  Would an expert connect which converts Cat 6 cable to HDMI be the only solution ?  Simply seeking a way to use the Ethernet line that is already ran and existing between TV and AMP so that viewings may be heard over the ceiling speakers.  Many thanks for the anticipated feedback !

Can i use Sonos amp to play vinyl through my living room setup (beam, surround and sub)?

Hi community, Hopefully someone out there can assist.  I have had issues in the past month of owning a beam where certain devices cause the beam to lose connection.I have a Samsung TV and have my beam running via HDMI ARC.  I also have a Bluray Player, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch and PS4.  After weeks of troubleshooting it seems that my issue is with the PS4. If I turn on my PS4 the console takes over my TV, which is fine as it’s running via ARC so my understanding is that devices inputs will change when devices are turned on.  The issue is that if I then switch back to another device (ie: want to watch something on TV or Apple TV while a game is installing on the PS4) I lost access to the beam and sound reverts back to my TV.  I am then unable to connect back to the beam unless I unplug the PS4 and power cycle the beam.  Not ideal and quite frustrating. I am sure there is a work around on this, however I have been unsuccessful in finding a way round it.I had the same issue with the Nint

Looking for best practices, and switch rec. Can I hardwire all the units, in the rack, to a single switch?Unhappy to see a Netgear ProSafe GS108 on the ‘hardware to avoid’/incompatible list. https://support.sonos.com/s/article/41?language=en_USI have several cascaded switches, in my house, all Netgear ProSafe, and all have worked perfectly (oldest 11 years).I have a Cisco RV router, and have read of the ‘RSTP’ solution.The 12 Sonos devices will be a mix of Ports and Amps.Thanks for any input, greatly appreciated.

Hello.  I”m looking for a solution and I’m hoping someone here can help me.  I currently have in wall and in ceiling speakers with the speaker wires going to a utility room.  In my living room I have a turntable.  I’d like to listen to records through the ceiling speakers.  If I buy the amp to power the speakers in the utility room and buy a port to connect to the record player, will the amp recognize the port as the outgoing signal and play through the speakers?  Sorry if this isn’t a clear ask.  Hoping someone can guide me.  Thank you!
